Electronic Evidences

• What are electronic evidences?
• What purpose will they serve?
• How do we decide what they are?
• How do we develop them?
• How do we implement them?

11
Electronic Evidences
In determining the electronic evidences that will
be used for continuing program approval, each
teacher preparation program is to identify 6-8
key evidences for each specialty area to
demonstrate attainment of the North Carolina
Professional Teaching Standards using the Teacher
Candidate Evaluation Rubric. The evidences
must be performance-related, and will be
submitted for review to the North Carolina State
Board of Education for each program completer.
Six evidences are required two additional
evidences are optional.
12
The Rubric
13

1 This evidence MUST be a transcript or passing
scores on the appropriate Praxis II test(s). 2

Narrative for Each of the 6 8 Evidences

More on Evidences

• No longer will approval from the State to deliver
  a program and recommend a candidate for licensure
  depend on a review of the faculty, interviews
  with stakeholders, course syllabi, and the like.
• Evidence will be candidate performance in areas
  that show attainment of required standards
  determined by the State.

20
Every Candidate Must Submit Required Evidences

• Every summer the institution will electronically
  submit all evidences for every candidate
  completer for every approved program.
• The State will sample completers and external
  reviewers will review the evidences to determine
  if the programs completers are demonstrating
  attainment of required standards, elements, and
  descriptors.

21
Final Word (today) on Evidences

• Western programs may decide to have common
  evidences for 3, 5, and 6 and will be deciding
  on that this semester.
• Evidence 1 (transcript) and 4 (new Exit Criteria)
  are determined.
• All programs should be thinking about what
  Evidence 2 will look like for their program.

22
How Do We Decide on Evidences?

• An institution may have common evidences for all
  candidates for ALL programs.
• An institution may have common evidences for all
  candidates in A GIVEN PROGRAM or FOR EACH
  PROGRAM.
• An institution may have some common evidences for
  all programs and some unique evidences by
  program.

23
Evidence 2

• Content Knowledge Evidence that demonstrates
  candidate depth of understanding and application
  of content knowledge in the specialty area.
• This evidence will be unique to each program.

24
Content for Evidence 2

• Electronic evidence 2 must focus on content
  (scholarship), not pedagogy.
• For B-K, appropriate content is child
  development, policy, interagency service
  delivery, and the core subjects (English, math,
  science, social studies, art
• For elementary, appropriate content is the core
  subjects (English, math, science, social studies,
  arts)
• For Reading, appropriate content is linguistics,
  psychology of reading, reading disabilities
• For EC, appropriate content is EC laws, current
  policies, definitions, and the core subject
  (English, math, science, social studies, arts)
• For ESL, appropriate content is linguistics
• For AIG, appropriate content is discipline
  specific content

25
When is THE Report due?

  Board of Education for every program by July 1,
  2009.
